What's the importance of spices in your life?
Spices are seasonings that enhance the flavour of food. Spices can be powdered, liquids or oils. They can also be called condiments or flavours.
Spicing up dishes is a great way to add variety to meals. To add more flavour and excitement to dishes, many spices can be used.
Perhaps a little hot pepper sauce will enhance the flavor of your soup. A cup of cooked rice could be made more delicious by adding a few cayenne to the soup.
Fresh ingredients are best for experimenting with spicing. When you are buying dried herbs, make sure they are organic. Fresh herbs can last for longer than dried.
Some spices are essential to cooking; however, there are some that you might prefer to avoid. Cinnamon sticks contain high amounts of coumarin, so they should not be eaten if you have a history of liver disease. Although ginger also contains coumarin it is much less concentrated. It's safe for those without any history of liver problems.

Step1 - Prepare Ingredients
- Before you start this recipe, make sure that all ingredients are prepared.
- Peel and chop shallots (about two cups). Cut galangal root in small pieces, about 3 inches long. Set aside.
- Next, remove and cut the cloves of garlic (about four cloves). Lemongrass stems about 1/2 inch thick should be removed and finely chopped.
- Next, crush the dried red chilli peppers (4 tablespoons) and then remove the seeds (optional).
- Next, cut kaffir lime leaves into thin strips (about 5 inches long). Set aside the white portion of the stem.
- After draining the shrimp paste, wash it well and then coarsely smash it.
- Finally, measure out sugar and salt.
Step2 - Grind Ingredients

- Note: if you want to reduce the amount of oil in the dish, you can substitute some water for some of the oil.
Step3 - Add Coconut Milk
- Add coconut milk to the mixture, and mix well.
- You should slowly add the coconut milk so that it doesn't get too sticky.
- If you prefer less spicy, add fewer chillies and more galangal root.
- If you prefer it spicy, add more chillies or less galangal roots. The end result should be delicious.
Step4 - Serve
- Serve on top of your favourite foods.
- Enjoy!
